Real update feature

[Albert Vila Puig <av...@imente.com>]

I know the only way to update a document is doing a delete and an add. 
Even so, I want to know if there is a possibility to modify the lucene 
core in order to allow real document updates (for instance, change a 
document field value). Is it possible to implement a feature like that? 
I think a lot of people will be interested in such a feature.

Any comment will be appreciate.

Thanks

Albert

It would be possible to add a feature which would let you efficiently 
update un-indexed field values.  But, to update an indexed field, 
because of the index file formats and algorithms, it would be very 
inefficient to do something other than delete+add.
